Check for the latest webcam drivers for Windows 8.x. If the issue is with an internal camera please check on the laptop manufacturer's support page. Or check the camera manufacturer's support site if the issue is with an external USB camera.

If you are reporting a problem please test the camera with the Windows 8 camera application and tell us if that works.

Let us know if you are willing to be contacted by Skype support staff and create logs for us so we can try to resolve the issue.
